What we’ve observed

For years we observed the following issues constraining businesses around the world:

Silos

Executives who had risen within a silo and found themselves leading organisations without a solid appreciation of what goes on in functions other than where they came from.

Limited Alignment

Senior leaders with limited impact, unable to align or mobilise cross functional efforts.

Lack of Customer Understanding

Customer facing professionals who don’t understand their customer’s business well enough to become the relevant trusted advisors they sought to be.

Lack of Partner/Supplier Understanding

Buyers/Procurement Managers who negotiate without understanding what really matters for the other party and what cards they both had to play.

Internal Assumptions and Bias

Professionals who don’t understand their own organisation beyond their own department or the impacts of their decisions on other stakeholders, misguided by assumptions and bias.

Our Solution

Wyda Game is a virtual game-based platform designed to help professionals build business acumen. By stepping into the roles of key executives, professionals gain empathy and business savvy through immersive, virtual role-play.
